Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 4D

“Program Service Expenses 22,819, Grants and allocations 1,066, Revenue 0 US Graduate Fellowship Program 2020 is the fourth year VNF provides support and selection to top Vietnamese scholars to attend US universities. It stands on the strength of hundreds of young Vietnamese with master and doctoral degrees who have returned to Vietnam after they finish their graduate training under the Vietnam Education Foundation VEF. This new initiative mobilizes VEF fellows to help create the next generation of scientists and engineers for Vietnam. This initiative replicates the interview and selection process with the voluntary service from VEF Alumni and a network of leading American professors. The program offers a rigorous selection process to recommend the best candidates to US graduate schools. Our team of voluntary VEF Fellows is coaching the selectees on their graduate school applications. In final round, 16 students were accepted to top US graduate schools.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Programs for the Blind a Sun Flower College Scholarship--provides tuition scholarships to blind students for colleges and universities in Ho Chi Minh City. Supported 48 this year, most from poor families. Graduates are leading giving productive lives across Vietnam. b Laptops for Students To invest further in their education, we have awarded laptops to first-year students. This important tool helps the students in their study, research and outreach to the world. Our limited financial resources did not allow us to provide more laptops to the students, but now with the invention of the 360 Machine laptop without screens, we will be able to give every scholarship recipient a special laptop computer without a screen suitable for their needs. This year, 13 students were awarded the 360 Machines. We also provide the recipients a short course on how to use these specialized laptops.

It stands on the strength of hundreds of young Vietnamese with master and doctoral degrees who have returned to Vietnam after they finish their graduate training under the Vietnam Education Foundation VEF. This new initiative mobilizes VEF fellows to help create the next generation of scientists and engineers for Vietnam. This initiative replicates the interview and selection process with the voluntary service from VEF Alumni and a network of leading American professors. The program offers a rigorous selection process to recommend the best candidates to US graduate schools. Our team of voluntary VEF Fellows is coaching the selectees on their graduate school applications. In final round, 16 students were accepted to top US graduate schools.
